Dear Arnfinn, Dear all,

It is good to hear from you Arnfinn, I am doing well, thank you 🙂

I would be happy to participate in a consortium. However, some of my other colleagues from the faculty are preparing their own proposal for this call. I know that it is not an obstacle in Horicon requirements per se, but I want to be transparent with you as well. If you still want to have me (and possibly some of my team from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences) on board, I am interested to join.

Kind regards,
Mindaugas

Dear Mindaugas

Hope that you are doing fine!

I am involved in an international consortium working on a Horizon research proposal lead by  Franco Sassi at the Imperial College in a UK for a call on "Behavioural interventions as primary prevention for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) among young people".

The consortium is interested in connecting with a partner in Lithuania, either at the public health institute or a university eventually. 

Is this something that would be of interest for your institutions, or do you have suggestions for other people we could contact?

Best regards
Arnfinn
